Chapter 152 Princess Pingning sees the clues and the newlyweds are trying to control each other

Wang Ruoyu was quite famous among the noble ladies in Bianjing.

After all, it is rare to find someone in Bianjing City in a hundred years who would so blatantly treat illegitimate sons and daughters of his family harshly, or even kill them directly.

In recent years, the Wang family and the Kang family have gradually declined.

But considering that both families are upright families after all, and Mrs. Wu herself is not a snob, she actually didn't think of not inviting Wang Ruoyu.

The reason why Wang Ruoyu was excluded in the end was because his reputation was deteriorating.

Those who can come to participate in Madam Wu's polo club are all wives of officials, or at least from families of noble family with generations of scholars, or have a title in the family.

The more such a family is, the more they care about their reputation.

And Wang Ruoyu's bad reputation is undoubtedly a bad apple that spoils the whole barrel for Madam Wu.

So Madam Wu had no choice but to order Wang Ruoyu to leave.

However, also for the sake of saving face, Madam Wu naturally would not go and say it in person, but stopped sending business cards to Wang Ruoyu.

If you really want to come, you can.

But he had to swallow his pride and took his daughter to sit on the open-air stands.

Given Wang Ruoyu's reputation, the other ladies tried to avoid him as much as possible and certainly would not invite Wang Ruoyu to stay in their tents.

Mrs. Wu also calculated Wang Ruoyu's face-saving temper.

Sure enough, Wang Ruoyu never came again after that.

Mrs. Wu thought so in her heart, but still went towards the two of them.

"Mrs. Sheng, Mrs. Kang."

"Mrs. Wu!"

After exchanging greetings, Wang Ruofu asked the girls behind him to salute Madam Wu. She immediately said with an apologetic look on her face:
"I hope you will forgive me, Madam. I was delayed by some things at home today, so I came a little late."

Madam Wu didn't care. Although she was a little surprised about what delayed Wang Ruofu, she didn't ask in detail and just smiled and said:

"This apology is groundless. The time hasn't come yet, so why should I apologize?"

Wang Ruofu nodded quickly in response.

Wang Ruoyu, who was standing by, saw this.

I was just about to go up and get closer to Mrs. Wu to see if I could take the opportunity to ask for a new post.

Even though it was a bit rude and impolite, today he was using his sister's excuse. If others knew about it, most of them would blame Wang Ruofu, and not himself.

And once she asked, how could Mrs. Wu refuse for the sake of saving face?

For the sake of his daughter's marriage, Wang Ruoyu decided to risk his reputation.

Everything is based on finding a good son-in-law!
With a son-in-law like Yang Wenyuan, would he still worry about getting a business card from the polo club?
Take a gamble and the donkey cart will turn into a horse carriage, take a gamble and the horse carriage will turn into a marquis's mansion!

Before coming, Wang Ruoyu had already reminded his two daughters.

At this time, those who could come to participate in the polo club were all young talents from prominent families.

If they like her, they can just tell their aunt Wang Ruofu or cousin Hualan.

That’s right, compared to other aspects, Wang Ruoyu is still very self-aware when it comes to his own reputation.

He knew that if he went to see the girl himself, most people would probably not agree, so he could only entrust the matchmaking and marriage proposal to Wang Ruofu and Hualan.

We are all family, what's wrong with helping out? !

But it might be a coincidence.

After taking a look at the young lady from the Kang family who was following behind Wang Ruoyu, and Wang Ruoyu's gesture of moving forward, Madam Wu suddenly shut up.

Wang Ruoyu hesitated on the spot and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

After a moment, Gang finally mustered up the courage to speak again.

Madam Wu's eyes turned and fell on the carriage of the Duke of Qi's Mansion which had just arrived.

Wang Ruofu saw this, not noticing her sister's fiery look, and said sympathetically:
"Madam, please go ahead and do your work. We have been here several times before and we know the way."

Madam Wu smiled and nodded:
"Thank you for your understanding, Madam Sheng. I am sorry for not treating you well today. I will definitely visit you another day!"

Having gotten rid of Wang Ruoyu and arranged a trip to the Sheng family, Madam Wu had accomplished all her goals. She immediately went to greet Princess Pingning with great satisfaction.

After Madam Wu left first, Wang Ruoyu felt very indignant, thinking that he should have been shameless and said it directly. However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that what he was about to say was interrupted by Wang Ruofu.

His body moved with his thoughts, and he turned around to see Wang Ruofu with a happy face.

He was obviously happy about Mrs. Wu's promise.

Wang Ruoyu couldn't help but say:
"My silly sister, what are you laughing at? Madam Wu just said she would visit your home, but that was just some polite talk. You didn't take it seriously, did you?"

Wang Ruofu's expression froze when he heard this.

Wang Ruoyu continued:

"And if Madam Wu really wanted to go to your house, why would she say she would go to another day? I'm afraid she should have made some rough arrangements!"

Mrs. Wu: No, I deliberately didn’t set a time because I was on guard against you!

Mrs. Wu was naturally quite concerned about the Sheng family, a possible potential in-law.

I know that Wang Ruoyu changed the "march route" during this period.

The time was still every few days, but the destination was changed from her mother's home, the Wang family, to the Sheng family in Jiying Lane.

Madam Wu didn't want to have anything to do with Wang Ruoyu, so she planned to find a good day to visit the Sheng family again.

As for what is a good day?
The days without Wang Ruoyu are good days!

After listening to Wang Ruoyu's explanation, Wang Ruofu also felt that it was right.

It seems that I was indeed too optimistic.

Everything has been going smoothly since the beginning of this year, and I really thought that all good things would happen to me.

That's right. After all, Madam Wu is the lady of the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion. How could she come to my house specially?

Wang Ruofu and his group were walking in front.

Princess Pingning just happened to be getting off the carriage with Qi Heng.

The "late arrival" of the Sheng family happened to catch the eye of Princess Pingning, who arrived on time.

Princess Pingning has always claimed to be the number one in the circle of noble ladies in Bianjing. Naturally, she is always one of the last few to arrive at occasions like this.

It can be said that he was showing off.

This is also one of the things that Princess Pingning is criticized for.

After all, the former glory of the Duke of Qi's Mansion is long gone, and now the entire Qi family is supported by you, Princess Pingning, alone.

It looks very glorious, but that is all old news.

Now the two big trees behind you are about to collapse!

The crisis is imminent, but she has always been so arrogant. No wonder Princess Pingning can only gain some glory for the sake of face, but the wives of officials with some power in her family don't think much of her.

However, it is hard to say whether this arrogant attitude is a strategy.

After all, if you are surrounded by wolves, you should not show weakness easily. Instead, you should be tougher than usual.

Looking at the figures of Wang Ruofu and Wang Ruoyu walking in, Princess Pingning snorted coldly and said softly:
"A poor man who has just become rich, after marrying up to the rich and powerful, behaves so ignorantly and arrives so late."

Obviously, Princess Pingning was very unhappy about the Sheng family's mistaken entry into the "finale show".

What level, walking on the same catwalk with me?
Princess Pingning's words also included Minglan, so Qi Heng naturally had to explain weakly:
"Mother, the Sheng family is usually very polite, otherwise they wouldn't have raised a quiet lady like Sister Hua. Something must have delayed them today."

When Princess Pingning heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Qi Heng, only to see her beloved son staring at the backs of the Sheng family members as they left with a look of joy on his face. She couldn't help but frown.

With thoughts swirling in her mind, Princess Pingning secretly made up her mind and prepared to find out how the girls from the Sheng family would perform at the polo match later.

Princess Pingning suppressed her inner thoughts and did not refute them out loud.

The Sheng family has all met Princess Pingning.

Therefore, it is very strange how Wang Ruofu, with his carefree and vulgar temperament, could raise Hualan, who is no worse than a noble lady.

Is it possible that bad bamboo can also produce good bamboo shoots?
Or is it that Mrs. Sheng’s methods are really extraordinary?
The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things!
Princess Pingning was the last one to arrive today.

After exchanging greetings, Madam Wu personally led Princess Pingning to her tent.

It also heralds the official start of the polo match.

At this moment.

Inside the Yang family tent.

Cai Zan had been waiting outside the tent. When she saw Madam Wu enter the main tent, she came in to report. Yang Wenyuan was enjoying Hualan's feeding at this time, while Yang Rujin below had an expression of "can't bear to watch".

"Cousin, you dote on my cousin too much!"

Faced with this "eye-catching" display of affection in front of others, Yang Ruijin had a deeper understanding of the concept of her cousin being a gigolo.

Yang Wenyuan: Do you understand the value of eating soft rice?

After hearing Yang Ruijin's complaints, Hualan couldn't help but blush. Fortunately, after Yang Wenyuan's hard work day and night, Hualan's face became more radiant, so she didn't show any shyness.

Hualan's behavior was of course "coerced" by Yang Wenyuan.

There's no way, at home Yang Wenyuan has always been considerate.

After that, he repeatedly "bowed his head and obeyed" and "kowtowed" like a working ox.

Unable to bear it any longer, Hualan had no choice but to sign many unequal treaties in order to avoid further suffering.

It can be considered as a little hobby between husband and wife.

Daily feeding is one of them.

But for Hualan's sake, he mostly doesn't perform it outside.

As for Yang Ruijin who was still at the scene?

Just a lightbulb type of single guy.

What's wrong with giving her something to eat?
Yang Wenyuan has always been generous to his own people.

Wenyuan big stage, come if you need food!
After hearing Caizan's report, Hualan breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately snorted and stuffed all the remaining dried fruits in his hand into Yang Wenyuan's mouth.

After successfully blocking the "troublemaker", Hua Lan stood up and clapped her hands happily.

Asked Yang Rujin:

"Sister Rujin, do you want to come with me to Madam Wu's place? And then meet Madam Zheng together?"

Yang Ruijin even shook her head like a rattle.

"No, no! I'd better wait for Rulan and the others!"

Madam Zheng had a very good reputation among the ladies, so Madam Chen had always nagged Yang Rujin since she was a child.

Over time, when Yang Ruijin reached her current age, the title of Madam Zheng had become a conditioned reflex.

It's like a mouse avoiding a cat when it smells it.

How could I possibly rush to meet him?

Hua Lan nodded.

"Okay then, just wait for the fourth sister and the others to come."

Yang Ruijin really wanted to refute that there was no fourth sister in the Sheng family, but only a fifth sister and a sixth sister.

But after thinking about it, I shut up.

So Hua Lan turned to look at Yang Wenyuan and asked:

"What about you? Do you want to come with me?"

Yang Wenyuan just managed to swallow the dried fruit in his mouth.

After drinking so much at once, Yang Wenyuan immediately felt thirsty, so he picked up the tea that Hualan ordered and took a sip.

As for Hualan's proposal, Yang Wenyuan naturally declined it.

In the following “blind date”, you will each have your own responsibilities.

I'm just going to be a light bulb there, right?
I am not the second Yang Rujin!
And it would be embarrassing to go there by myself.

After all, I don’t know anyone, what can I do if I go there?
Teach Zheng Xiao the hard power of a man?
Or eighteen martial arts?
So Hualan had to go alone.

Coincidentally, at this time Wang Ruofu also arrived with Wang Ruoyu.

Upon hearing that Hualan was going to visit Madam Wu and that there would be a blind date event later, Wang Ruoyu naturally rushed to go and brought his two daughters with him.

By then, Madam Wu will definitely have many wives of officials.

My eldest daughter, Kang Yuner, is gentle and considerate.

The younger daughter, Kang Yuaner, is even better than her father and now has her own style.

If Wang Ruofu's daughter can be married off to a good family, then naturally my daughter, Wang Ruoyu's, can too!

By then, we will just have to wait for some lady to have the discerning eye and take a liking to our daughter.

Wang Ruoyu was the one who had the final say and made the decision directly by slamming the table, while Wang Ruofu asked for the opinions of her three daughters.

"Ruer, what about you?"

Wang Ruofu looked at Rulan with hope and asked:

"Would you like to go with me to pay my respects to Madam Wu?"

Rulan never lets Wang Ruofu down.

She shrugged her shoulders slightly, smiled cautiously at Wang Ruofu, and whispered:

"Mother, I want to go to Hammer Ball..."

On the way here just now, she saw a lot of people playing chuiwan and was very jealous. When Wang Ruofu asked, her true thoughts came out directly.

"Hi~!"

Even though she knew Rulan was "not ambitious", Wang Ruofu still almost sprained her back after hearing her answer.

You don't cherish the chance to meet Madam Wu, but instead want to play cudgel?

Wang Ruofu didn't expect that Rulan came here and didn't even think of going with her to show her face to the elders, but just wanted to have fun.

Didn’t you see your two cousins ​​were so excited?

Thinking of this, Wang Ruofu couldn't help but wail in her heart: Oh my God, what a fool I gave birth to!
I don’t know whose temper this is!
However, although she was not satisfied with Rulan's answer, seeing that Rulan's face was eager to try and in high spirits, Wang Ruofu had no choice but to let her go.

After all, it’s my own child!

"Where's tomorrow?"

Wang Ruofu also had a good attitude towards Minglan.

I thought Minglan was just going there for the formality.

Minglan saw her fifth sister leave happily, turned around and saw Yang Rujin winking at her, so she whispered back:
"Madam, if Fifth Sister isn't going, then I won't go either."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

With Rulan's previous experience as a lesson, Wang Ruofu was obviously not surprised by this result.

"Thank you, ma'am!"

A bright smile immediately appeared on Minglan's face.

Yang Rujin immediately followed and walked towards Rulan who was waiting at the door of the tent with Minglan.

The three close friends gathered together and immediately burst into laughter and playfulness like silver bells.

"Should we go to Chui Wan first, or look for Yan Ran first? Is she here?"

"Go find Yanran, I just saw her!"

"..."

Hearing Rulan's happy laughter, Wang Ruofu couldn't help but relax a little, and suddenly asked Molan calmly:

"What about you, Molan? Do you want to go have some fun with the sisters?"

When Molan heard the voices gradually fading away outside the tent, she felt a little envious, but after hearing what Wang Ruofu said, she immediately turned to contempt.

These two younger sisters are really unmotivated, and so is the Yang family’s legitimate daughter!
"Madam, if there is no daughter in the boudoir at home, it will be embarrassing for you, so Mo'er should go."

Wang Ruofu's mood suddenly became much worse.

What you said, why are you still doing this for my own good?

Why are the words and behavior so similar to that little bitch Lin Qinshuang?

However, although Wang Ruofu was a bit awkward, she still acted like a legitimate mother in public.

He nodded slightly.

Took Molan to Mrs. Wu’s tent.
